6 0

The poem "Musée des beaux arts" by W.H. Auden was written as a response to Pieter Brueghel's "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus".

In this poem, Auden alludes to the human indiference towards other people's misfortune.

In the first section of the poem, Auden shows how humans go around not caring and paying little attention to the suffering in the world. According to Auden, neither children nor animals have enough sympathy to understand someone else's plight. But adults remain uninterested in individual calamity.

In the second section of the poem, Auden refers to Brueghel's paiting, by describing specific images of this dismissal of external suffering. How the ploughman "may" have heard the splash and how, for him, it was not an important failure.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Legend is based on fact and then stretched, and myth was never real to begin with.

Explanation:

1. Legend was based on some fact, until the truth was stretched so far it became just a story. A myth was never a fact to begin with.

This is significant because a legend has evidence, which may be incorrect, but a myth does not have any evidence whatsoever.

2. Legends are set in a historical period of time from a particular culture that is more recent. A myth is set in the ancient past (hence, once upon a time).

Write a short response to the following question: Do you agree with Mack’s argument? Why or why not? Why Read Shakesphere

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Yes, I agree with Mack's argument because he was able to clarify and give enough evidence on how reading Shakespeare is similar to that of studying the real world and our own selves. It also emphasizes the integrity of the heart and mind and how such unity makes a person understand and become educated.

Explanation:

The question above is related to Michael Mack's argument "Why Read Shakespeare?" He provided evidence regarding the good side of reading the works of Shakespeare. For him, although reading Shakespeare's works may seem hard at the start, reading it over and over again will allow the person to grasp its true meaning. He also compared it to that of studying different courses in college and learning to play a particular music.
